Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Clients : Mass Install
We use the Symantec Altiris product set to deploy all sorts of software, and that includes NetBackup clients. There are many such products, which support a range of OS types so that you can do what you require.We do have to create our own native script wrappers around the provided kits to configure the right servers, tune networks, run IVP etc. If you used the ability to do client push for all the UNIX/Linux clients, you *might* be able to use PowerShell to push Windows kits for the remaining Windows systems and install them, but that would have to be from a central Windows server. With that many clients, I’d be a little surprised if there wasn’t a tool already in place in your organisation to manage OS patching and application updates.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Clients : Mass Install [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
UNCLASSIFIED Hi all, Should liveupdate be able to do this? We recently used live update to update all of our clients from 7.5.0.4 to 7.6.1.1 and will be doing .2 soon. It only requires a web server and the liveupdate binaries. It does have issues and is not perfect. It wont upgrade a media server, for example, although I have seen that work. And some clients will require a manual install, as they just wont work via live update. Greg.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 7.6 for RHEL 7 Linux Kernel 3.0 native client support - RESOLVED
As a follow up note on all this. On a recent RHEL7.1 install (still running a 3.x kernel) I was able to install the RHEL 2.6 kernel client from NBU 7.6 installation media WITHOUT needing the uname26 setup to do it. That is to say that although one has to use NBU's RHEL2.6.x client on RHEL7.x it appears that client recognizes the 3.x kernel even though it says it is 2.6.x kernel in the NBU client name.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.1 - Windows Slow duplication Tape to Tape
The standard duplication does it by image rather than tape so it seems unlikely you'd get the same multiplexing on the duplicate as you did on the original. We don't do multiplexing here because while it speeds up backups it slows down restores (and also requires more tapes). The whole reason for doing backups is to be able to restore so your planning around backups should focus on restore times as well as backup windows. Back when we had Ultrium 1 we did tape to tape replication but of course that uses more tape drives.As someone else suggested doing backups to deduplication appliances (we use both Data Domain and Quantum DXi) then duplicating that to tape is much faster and allows you to free up tape drives for duplications and restores. We've been doing that for more than 3 years now. Also although we don't do it here many of the deduplication appliances have a replication feature. That would eliminate the need for tape because you could send your replication to an offsite location over WAN rather than having to have a vendor like Iron Mountain or Recall come and pick up your tapes (and later return them). -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Bluejay Adametz Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2015 7:38 AM To: Veritas List Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.1 - Windows Slow duplication Tape to Tape -- How do I check for the -mpx on my bpduplicate?

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Oracle Intelegent Agent
I'm not sure what OIA is but you can backup Oracle RAC using Oracle RMAN in tandem with the NetBackup Oracle agent. With RMAN you don't have to take the database online. Our DBAs here set their backup to the node but I've suggested more than once that they use the VIP instead because that will float to another node if the one they're backing up would go down. I don't think you'd be able to ever backup from multiple nodes at the same time for the same RAC cluster since each node is mounting the SAME disks as the other nodes in that cluster. For larger databases we do disk array copying (e.g. EMC BCV or SRDF or Hitachi Shadow Images) to mirror each disk (or LUN) from the Production server to other disks (or LUNs) within the array. When that is fully synchronized we put Oracle into hot backup (or shut it down completely once a week for cold backup), split the mirror off, take Oracle out of hot backup (or restart it) on Production. We then mount the mirror copy on a separate media server and do standard (i.e. flat file, not Oracle/RMAN) backup. Most of the shops I've worked in did this. One place I worked instead setup separate servers that had a cloned database mounted in standby mode. We had full redo logging turned on and copied Production logs from there to the standby node then applied the logs to that standby database. That meant you could get Production back online by taking the standby out of standby and making it the Production node. (We did however, put in a 6 hour delay between shipping the logs to the standby server and actually applying them to help prevent any faux pas that took down Production from getting immediately applied to standby.) -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of gregsih Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2015 3:28 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Oracle Intelegent Agent We have NetBackup 7.6.0.4 running on Red Hat Linux 6.6 as our master server with a requirement to backup a number of Oracle 12c Databases (also running on RHEL 6.6) using the new Symantec OIA product.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.1 - Windows Slow duplication Tape to Tape
2nd thing consider not duplicating from tape. They can only do one thing at a time and can end up searching for data sequentially. Consider basic disk and staging, or synthetic backup, or deduplication in combination with data life cycle policies. BasicDisk is free, and can make use of cheap local disk attached to the backup server. If you have a few 3.5 drive slots, filling them with large disks and doing a RAID0 or a concatenation with windows software raid will give you a lot of space to work with. unprotected space is probably OK, if you lose the disk you only lose the current backups that haven't been spooled to tape yet. (of course, your business requirements may vary) Since you're doing lots of simultaneous backups, 7200rpm disks are going to do a lot better than 5400. BasicDisk is also easy to set up. If you don't have the money for the better solutions, It's totally the way to go instead of multiplexing. Create a new storage unit under netbackup management - storage - storage units. There's a check box for staging, it will automatically back up to the disk volume you give it, then spool things off to tape when the disk backup is done. It took me a few hours to get it all working, including reading a few docs. -- Dan Pritts ICPSR Computing Network Services University of Michigan +1 (734)615-7362 ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel
Hi, Please forgive my confusion, but what does putty and the windows admin console have to do with each other. You can use putty to login to the master then use the jnbSA to initiate an X display. Otherwise you use the windows admin console an specify the master server name. The server you are running from must be in the bp.conf file of the master server, at a minimum, as a SERVER = windows servrer, if you want to make changes to media server, they each need similar entries.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel
That’s correct. If you want the Windows GUI you simply install it on your Windows workstation so PuTTY isn’t involved. The GUI you see using that and the jnbSA are essentially the same with the difference being the latter uses X so is less efficient to your workstation. You need to find your NetBackup 7.x Windows DVD and mount it. (Here we actually have this saved on and shared out from our Master Server as a SAMBA share but you may not.) The program to run to install the GUI on the DVD (or share) is called browser.exe.

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel
With NBU 7.1, the Java console and native Windows console are pretty much the same. Prior to that, there was a huge difference in functionality. The only real difference between the two is that when you are accessing client properties through the native Windows console, you can actually browse the client volume/directory structures to insert the exclude information (still have to manually type in the policy/schedule information). Keep in mind, with the native Windows console, that there are additional security implications. On the Master server, you will need to add the hostname of the desktop to the Additional Servers list; otherwise, you will get an error about not being allowed access. Client property access is affected. Client access is relative to where the admin console is running. When you run the Java console from the master server, you are accessing the client properties from the master server. The native Windows console is running on your desktop. You will need to add to the client's Additional Servers list the hostname of the desktop where the native Windows console is running. +-- |This was sent by t...@tjsimerson.org via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel
He wants to use Putty to make an SSH tunnel between his PC and his server. He then wants the Windows GUI to use the SSH tunnel rather than connecting directly to the server. This way he does not have to open up the relevant TCP ports on the server, and he is assured that there is good encryption used rather than trusting netbackup to get it right. So his question mostly boils down to what tcp ports does the windows gui use. To the OP...I don't know the answer, but you might just try opening up the host firewall temporarily. Start up the GUI, and tcpdump the connection to see what ports it's using. There is also the issue of the server list in bp.conf, as Pat mentions below. This is a bit tricky in this situation; I'm not entirely sure how it works. My guess is that it is based simply on the IP address from which the tcp connection originates. It might be some other identifier used in the negotiation between client and server but I doubt it. From netbackup's perspective, the tcp connection will come from the server-side endpoint of the ssh tunnel. My best guess is that you will want to make your ssh tunnel destination be the real IP of the server, rather than localhost. However, this may violate the same firewall rules you are trying to get past with the SSH tunnel. In that case, try making your ssh tunnel destination point at 127.0.0.1 (not localhost as it may resolve to IPv6). And make sure that 127.0.0.1 is listed as a server in bp.conf (this might not be necessary, but I don't think it can hurt). Hmm, your PC will need to be listed in bp.conf too, if you are going to use my suggestion to connect directly the first time so you can sniff the traffic.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel
When you say NetBackup Administration Console exactly what command are you running? The jnbSA can actually be started from UNIX/Linux but since it is Java is sending an X window to you. If the console you're talking about is also Java/X you have to enable X forwarding in your PuTTY session. The specific setting is under Connection--SSH--X11. In that screen click the check box next to Enable X11 forwarding. It defaults to MIT-Magic-Cookie-1. Once you have that and do the login to the server via PuTTY it will create a .Xauthority file in your UNIX/Linux user's home directory and also set your DISPLAY variable (echo $DISPLAY to see what it set it to - usually something like localhost:0.0). That prepares the connection to allow X applications to be launched and tunneled back over the same connection to your Windows system. However, Windows by default doesn't understand X so you have to have an X emulator installed (and running) on Windows. A common commercial one many people use is Exceed. A free one you can get by installing Cygwin (Linux on top of Windows) on your Windows system with the X11 packages. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of richarn Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 9:09 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel I am trying to use the Netbackup Administration Console as I believe it has certain advantages over the jnbSA jave interface.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Appliance Vs Data Domain
We have had a chance to side-by-side a 5220 with a DD860 for the past couple of years and each has its high and low points. Most of that time we didn't have a backup replication solution in place and depended on duplicating back to tape off of each device for offsite storage. The Data Domain is hands down much better at reconstructing its data for this purpose. I do understand this isn't normally an intended operation, but pulling even less than 10 images off of the 5220 at one time was work that produced significant load on it as to impede its normal operation. The hardware reliability of our 5220 atrocious. I can't tell you how many raid cards have been switched out of this thing. If we have had a couple of disk failures on the DD860 the past couple of years, but I always find out about those after the fact. My datacenter people tell me that EMC was here to switch it out and that is that. We did place another 5220 at our DR site with a DD4200 and implemented AIR. This is the by far the best thing we ever did for our backup environment. The remote 5220 does well as a remote master server handling the OST device and keeping track of images coming in. Alleviating the need to send offsite tapes was a boon to the process overall. We had a DR exercise last week and having everything there already without the need of propping up a tape library and a server to manage it was well worth the overall effort. The 5220 performs well as a tape media server, again another function that it more than likely isn't intended to be used for. Performing as a media server for the Data Domain does well also. We depend on the local 5220 to handle the VMware backups over SAN and it doesn't keep up with what we need. It is just not built to handle the load. Right now, I am in the market for another device, and I am going to probably lean toward the Data Domain with another media server that uses 10gb interfaces. We have really had to limit what we send to the 5220, and we are realizing that we may even have to pare that back. We really liked it for the VMware capabilities, but performance is an issue and we may be finding ourselves using the Data Domain for some of that load as well. If you have a large VMware install base, you will be well served to perform some load testing with proof of concept devices. We were burnt by not doing enough of that ahead of time. In this space, performance and functionality go hand-in-hand at times.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Appliance Vs Data Domain
We backup to Data Domain and to Quantums DXi over NFS from NetBackup 7.1. Other than the fact they're now owned by EMC I have a generally favorable opinion of Data Domain.We've been using it for a few years now with few major issues. One thing to keep in mind is whether the unit you're buying is doing inline deduplication, host deduplication or post-ingest deduplication and whether it fits in your backup window. We had our DXi running fine when it did post-ingest on our big ERP Database but then they changed their firmware (read complete OS upgrade!) and it started doing inline deduplication and we found it wouldn't fit in the backup window or complete most days. After we forced them to give us back the original firmware a couple of years ago we've been happy with the performance but sooner or later this will bite us as all their newer units use the newer firmware so their support will struggle remembering what this did. So far as I know there is no requirement to use Symantec's appliances with NetBackup. As noted above we use 2 other vendors for this. Both Data Domain and DXi offer remote replication to an offsite facility but we don't do that. Were I investigating a new solution I might also look at ExaGrid. Some of what I've seen looks interesting but I've not used it. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of saiyed123 Sent: Friday, November 14, 2014 10:11 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Appliance Vs Data Domain Our company is considering NBU for backup solution using backup appliance, our environment is mainly VMWARE ( 800+ guest) 30 + ESX and 30+Solaris boxes.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup change policy attribute question
As Mikhail states changing the RL setting within a policy only changes backups from that point on. Changing RL period for the RL itself changes it for all items with that RL. Although the RL has a period listed it is actually the RL number you see that is stored so changing the RL’s period changes it for all backups with that RL number. Note that there are multiple retention levels available and the period can be changedon each so you can have multiple RLs with the same retention period. For example in our environment we only keep our on site backups on deduplication appliance so all the RLs we define for use of the original backups have 2 weeks. The reason we use multiple RLs each with 2 weeks is because we then vault the images to tape to be sent offsite and have varying offsite retention policies (e.g. 3 months, 9 months, 1 year, infinity). Vaulting allows one to map the original image RL to a separate duplication RL.

[Veritas-bu] netbackup 7.1 convert catalog to 7.5
Hi Jerald, The Upgrade to NetBackup 7.5 moves the header file of a netbackup catalog image into the EMM and replaces it with a .lck file . 7.5 Upgrade, after the binary upgrade is a 2 step process. Phase 1 starts automatically when the first instance of the nbstserv process runs To start phase 2 of the image metadata migration, run the following clean-up command and wait for the image clean-up job to complete: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimage -cleanup -allclients Now for the catalog migration and the upgrade process to complete successfully requires all the image database files to be accessible to NetBackup when the image cleanup job runs. I believe this was not the case when NetBackup was upgraded as the epoch directory was not mounted. So the upgrade itself has still not completed. You are required to mount the epoch directory and run bpimage -cleanup -allclients. The image clean-up job should complete with a status of zero. This should complete the 7.5 upgrade and the migration of catalog header into EMM. /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbemmcmd -listsettings -brief -machinename masterservername | grep -i LIST_FS_IMAGE_HEADERS If the result shows LIST_FS_IMAGE_HEADERS = 0, phase 2 has completed. If the above value is still 1 then open a case with Symantec asap.

Re: [Veritas-bu] netbackup 7.1 convert catalog to 7.5
The problem I imagine that you have is that the catalog migration had finish and I cannot find a way to restart it. If you check the output of the command nbemmcmd -listsettings -machinename master_server, you will see that the value of LIST_FS_IMAGE_HEADERS is 0 . To restart the catalog migration you have to change the value for 0 to 1, but there is no documented way. You have two options A) open a case to Symantec B) use the recovery without import procedure to import the images to the database using the cat_import command http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=contentid=TECH28722 id=TECH28722 stefanos From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Iverson, Jerald Sent: Friday, February 07, 2014 6:02 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] netbackup 7.1 convert catalog to 7.5 environment: redhat linux 7.5 master/media server we move (archive) old catalog images which don't expire under netbackup/db/images for 1 client to a nfs mounted filesystem to keep the image database to a managable size, and then link an epoch directory to the nfs mount if needed for a restore. this has worked for 6.5, and 7.1, but now when i link a 7.1 directory that wasn't upgraded during the 7.5 upgrade, the .lck files aren't there and the images don't show up in the gui for a restore. is there a command i can manually run to convert the database image files? i thought i read something last year about manually doing this if you had a large database when doing the upgrade. thanks in advance, jerald Confidentiality Note: The information contained in this message, and any attachments, may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup With Data Domain,
Sunit DDBOOST on FC not possible. Do FC if you want VTL deployments. DDBOOST works at high speed on 10g network. So it depends what you have if you can have 10g connectivity between media servers and DD then go for DDBOOST else go fibre with VTL implementation Also you can not use one DD device as VTL and DDBOOST at the same time.

Of course you need DD OS 5.4+, DD Boost plug-in 2.6+ and NBU 7.6. Don't forget to check your FC infrastructure with EMC for DD Boost over FC compatibility.

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup NDMP backups need to restore to another Filer non-celera
Hi All, We had EMC Celera NAS Filers backups taken by NetBackup NDMP Agent. However these Filers were decommissioned . I remember a limitation that if NDMP backups, backed through a particular filer can be restored only to a filer of similar make and model . It cannot be redirected to another filer (Example Ontap) or any OS filesystem. Is there any way data from these tapes be restored/redirected to any other location.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup NDMP backups need to restore to another Filer non-celera
Couldn't you use bpduplicate to duplicate the backup using the original device as the source and the new one as the target? Our vaulting regularly duplicates deduplication (Data Domain/Quantum DXi) appliance backups to tape to be sent offsite.

[Veritas-bu] netbackup 7.5.0.6 bpimmedia question
Jerald, you bring up a valid point. 2 of them, actually. In 7.5, the image header is no longer a standalone file, it resides in the EMM database. As to bpimmedia, this was discovered earlier on in 7.5 so it is a known issue. However, it has not come up in an actual Support case. There is a bug report but it in order to get some faster action on it, I recommend opening a case with NetBackup support. When your technician is assigned, refer them to ET3269039. Hope this helps.

i've upgraded 1 of my environments to 7.5.0.6, and noticed that the db/images/client/epoch_dir/policy_epoch_backup-type files are no longer there. the .f files are there, and now a .lck file is there, but not the backup image header file for me to grab backup data out of. so i'm trying to get fragment information using the bpimmedia command, which runs much faster as all of the data is in 1 central location, but it doesn't return everything. not getting all the data back faster doesn't cut it. i think since netbackup 3.4 the bpimmedia command has returned all fragments in a backup set when any of the media is given for the mediaid option. here's an example of a backup that went to 5 tapes in netbackup 7.1.0.4, it is an ndmp backup, so some catalog data gets written at the end to FRAG -1. # bpimmedia -mediaid L46555 IMAGE ushoufas6070a 8 ushoufas6070a_1374656402 netapp-6070a-sqlbakrepl6 19 full 0 3 29098 1377334802 0 0 FRAG 1 -1 4556 0 3 6 2 L46555 houlebspd1 65536 11474540 1374656402 9 64 *NULL* 0 0 3 1 FRAG 1 1 49437184 0 3 6 3 L45086 houlebspd1 65536 13170345 1374581017 9 64 *NULL* 1377334802 0 3 1 FRAG 1 2 839758208 0 3 6 1 L45352 houlebspd1 65536 2 1374656402 9 64 *NULL* 0 0 3 1 FRAG 1 3 837484032 0 3 6 1 L45585 houlebspd1 65536 2 1374656402 9 64 *NULL* 0 0 3 1 FRAG 1 4 832688640 0 3 6 1 L46840 houlebspd1 65536 2 1374656402 9 64 *NULL* 0 0 3 1 FRAG 1 5 734370304 0 3 6 1 L46555 houlebspd1 65536 2 1374656402 9 64 *NULL* 0 0 3 1 in my 7.5.0.6 environment, i have a backup that went to 6 tapes. running the bpimmedia command on 1 tape returns just that fragment: # bpimmedia -mediaid 000189 IMAGE usbcpfas3050 8 usbcpfas3050_1329405567 netapp-fas3050-special-req-snap 19 full 0 9 3515573 2147483647 0 0 0 0 FRAG 1 6 513484544 0 3 20 1 000189 auslebsms1 65536 2 1329405567 14 0 *NULL* 2147483647 0 9 1 *NULL* 0 running it on another tape returned that tape which was used at the end of another backup, and the first fragment of this backup: # bpimmedia -mediaid 000195 IMAGE usbcpfas3050 8 usbcpfas3050_1329405567 netapp-fas3050-special-req-snap 19 full 0 9 3515573 2147483647 0 0 0 0 FRAG 1 1 139074176 0 3 20 3 000195 auslebsms1 65536 7657992 1329252218 14 0 *NULL* 2147483647 0 9 1 *NULL* 0 IMAGE usbcpfas3050 8 usbcpfas3050_1329252218 netapp-fas3050-special-req-snap 19 full 0 9 3515666 2147483647 0 0 0 0 FRAG 1 6 489615360 0 3 20 1 000195 auslebsms1 65536 2 1329252218 14 0 *NULL* 2147483647 0 9 1 *NULL* 0 another tape in the set: # bpimmedia -mediaid 000134 IMAGE usbcpfas3050 8 usbcpfas3050_1329405567 netapp-fas3050-special-req-snap 19 full 0 9 3515573 2147483647 0 0 0 0 FRAG 1 3 623871552 0 3 20 1 000134 auslebsms1 65536 2 1329405567 14 0 *NULL* 2147483647 0 9 1 *NULL* 0 for the fun of it, i tried the nospan option, and it did list all 6 media used, plus another 12(?): # bpimmedia -spanpools -mediaid 000134 SERVER auslebsms1 DISK POOL 000189 000195 000129 000134 000135 000138 000119 000182 000184 000185 000186 L41759 000102 000104 000153 000151 L41722 L41743 so i dumped the netbackup database, and looked into the *.dat files, and they look correct (dbm_image and dbm_imagefragment): 845.dat: '4930','102',,'usbcpfas3050','42','netapp-fas3050-special-req-snap','1329405567','0','0','19','9','0','0','0','3123802962','7','1','0','8','9','1','0','54640','2147483647','3515573','119330','32','root','full','','','netapp-fas3050-special-req-snap_1329405567_FULL.f','507617313','','','3748583707','0','0','1329405567','1329405567','0','1','','2013-07-16 17:29:10.94','2013-07-16 17:29:10.98' 849.dat:'2','4930','5032','1','-1','0','000189','102','3','1','1','507660288','000189','20','2','65536','8023200','1329405567','14','0','*NULL*','0','0','','','2013-07-16 17:29:10.669941','2013-07-16 17:29:10.669945' 849.dat:'3','4930','5032','1','1','0','000195','102','3','1','1','142411956224','000195','20','3','65536','7657992','1329252218','14','0','*NULL*','0','0','','','2013-07-16 17:29:10.670277','2013-07-16 17:29:10.670280' 849.dat:'30001','4930','5032','1','2','0','000129','102','3','1','1','638745640960','000129','20','1','65536','2','1329405567','14','0','*NULL*','0','0','','','2013-07-16 17:29:10.670566','2013-07-16 17:29:10.670570' 849.dat:'30002','4930','5032','1','3','0','000134','102','3','1','1','638844469248','000134','20','1','65536','2','1329405567','14','0','*NULL*','0','0','','','2013-07-16 17:29:10.670885','2013-07-16 17:29:10.670889' 849.dat:'30003','4930','5032','1','4','0','000135','102','3','1','1','609969635328','000135','20','1','65536','2','1329405567','14','0','*NULL*','0','0','','','2013-07-16 17:29:10.671208','2013-07-16 17:29:10.671212' 849.dat:'30004','4930','5032','1','5','0','000138','102','3','1','1','642486697984','000138','20','1','65536','2','1329405567','14','0','*NULL*','0','0','','','2013-07-16 17:29:10.671486','2013-07-16 17:29:10.671490'
[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 7.5.0.6 - Consuming All Memory
I am running netbackup 7.5.0.6 and the BPDBM process is consuming all of the memory on the master backup server. We were running the .4 release, support recommended we upgrade, but that did not resolve the issue. The server is running W2K8 R2, symptoms arose about 4 weeks back, close to when the last round of Microsoft critical patches were deployed. We will attempt to roll them back. The server is a VM with 16GB of memory, which should be enough and has worked well in the past. CPU is hardly taking a hit. We reboot the server and sometimes its fine for a few hours, other times it the memory will climb within 15 minutes. The ESX server this box is running has free memory so the issue is not because other servers are consuming the memory. Has anyone run into this issue or similar Thank you! +-- |This was sent by brianjdil...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Re #2: I'm pretty sure update_clients doesn't depend in any way on rsh or rsh, or on ssh for that matter. It uses sockets provided by NetBackup.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5.6 client update script
I have the correct 6.5.6 update and I've unpacked it locally. But every permutation of the install scripts I've tried to run eventually generate some kind of an error or another and it either bails out early, or worse, I end up with a partially installed update. Can you tell me the syntax you're using?

Anthony Thanks, but I was after some real world scenarios, as I had already found this already. Here is the problem I have.. I have many VM Guest machines that are Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 clusters. I need to somehow create a script to ignore clusters and RDM. Now, the RDM side, is ok - I have tested the query, but not put it into full practice yet. The results say its worked, but I cannot just kick off the backup, as it does not tell me how many it will do, and more so, 1000 VM's being backed up right now isnt an idea time :) My only other option, is to try and create a query against one VM Host I guess. See if it works. But ideally, was looking for examples of hte full use of VIP - In other words... people that have lots of experience who may share some queries on what can and cannot be done. hope this explains a bit more :) Simon From: Anatoly Pugachev [mailto:mator...@gmail.com] Sent: Thu 24/01/2013 09:53 To: Simon Weaver Cc: George Winter; Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.5 / Vmware API - RDM Identification http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO44506 On Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 9:28 AM, Simon Weaver simon.wea...@iscl.net wrote: Hello George Many thanks that this as it is very very helpful information.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup / Enterprise Vault 10 - Question / Query
Hi Simon,
There are some powershell commands that can set and release EV's backup mode.
Toward the tail end of EV's Admin Guide, it shows how to set release the
backup mode. The EV installation ISO has some pretty extensive documentation
(think about how much NetBackup has, EV is on par with NBU in that category).
The powershell stuff will put the EV volumes into read-only mode while backups
run so it'll minimize any stuck-open files.
I'm pretty sure that, at that point, a file-level will get it there if you set
it up to clear the archive bit on backup.
There's a link here:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=contentid=TECH172279
It's more database centric, but it does have some info on what to do.
FWIW, here are the bits on using the powershell cmdlets in backup scripts (from
the EV Admin's Guide):
%SystemRoot%\SysWow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell -psconsolefile
C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault\EVShell.psc1 -command
{set-vaultstorebackupmode -name 'Express Vault Store Group' -evservername
EVserver -evobjecttype vaultstoregroup}
%SystemRoot%\SysWow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell -psconsolefile
C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault\EVShell.psc1 -command
{clear-vaultstorebackupmode -name 'Express Vault Store Group' -evservername
EVserver -evobjecttype vaultstoregroup}
You should be able to put these in the bp start/stop notify scripts.
You'll need to work with your EV admins (assuming you're not the EV
administrator) to get the vault store group names (Express Vault Store Group
above), and EV environment details. All that is in the EV administrator console
on the server, but a lot of it is accessible only to the account that's the
specified EV Administrator (we use a service account here).
Hope that helps,
~ Robin

The SQL Side is done using NetBackup for SQL (So its an online agent).
The Enterprise Vault backups are simply File level backups, no agents

Hi All I am looking for some advice or assitance in regards to Enterprise Vault Email Backups and NetBackup 7.5 Presently, I have been doing Full backups of all drive letters of the Server (Windows 2008 R2) and Diff backups during the week (Based on the Enterprise Vault details I found). However, its been noticed that items are NOT being archived correctly. They show a clock icon next to the emails and if you open the email it says This item is being archived by Enterprise Vault do not copy, move or delete this item. However ,it has been like this for months, and the backups are being blamed :( I downloaded the Symantec White Paper for Enterprise Vault.

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.5 / Vmware API - RDM Identification
Hello again 2 posts in a day :) Rare! I am now looking at VMware Integration with vSphere 4.x and NBU 7.5.0.4. So far tests have gone well, but I got a quick question regarding RDM's. Essentially, I have over 1000 VM's with a mix of RDM's and no RDM's. Question: Is there any easy method in NBU, that can help me identify a VM Guest that has an RDM? I can use vCentre, but the sheer number of VM's we have makes it really hard to identify each guest. With RDM, I still have to backup the machine as a file level backup. In other words, as a Physical machine. But This is purely for data use, as alot of our RDM's have the Data presented to the VM. Also, I cannot snapshot Windows 2003 and 2008 guest cluster machines, due to a SCSI Bus conflict. So this would mean doing a file level backup for each node.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup / Enterprise Vault 10 - Question / Query
I'm doing EV 10.0.3 backups through NBU 7.5.0.4 I use the directives and the database/app agent on my EV servers. I'm not sure if you know about the safety copies that exist in EV, but essentially EV won't remove the full-content email from Exchange until it gets a full-content backup on both EV and Exchange. With Exchange, it uses VSS. I'm not entirely sure what triggers with EV, but file-level and database backups work. Are you using the DB/APP agent on your EV server(s)? or are you just using file-level? Also, how are you backing up your EV databases? Are they local or point to an external sql server? ~ Robin From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Simon Weaver Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 7:13 AM To: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup / Enterprise Vault 10 - Question / Query Hi All I am looking for some advice or assitance in regards to Enterprise Vault Email Backups and NetBackup 7.5 Presently, I have been doing Full backups of all drive letters of the Server (Windows 2008 R2) and Diff backups during the week (Based on the Enterprise Vault details I found).

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup appliance hangs
Anyone out there using NetBackup dedupe appliances (5000, 5020) in a multiple node configuration having any problems where a content router node seems to just hang and require power-cycling? I have a NetBackup 5000 appliance at one location at version 1.4.1.1 that for some reason just hangs. It can be pinged, but console access is locked up, and ssh is similarly non-responsive. After the node is power-cycled, the storage pool comes back up and is happy until the next time. I've had this happen 3 times this year, but two of those instances have happened in the last 3 weeks. Anyone else seeing this behavior? Did 1.4.2 fix it? I'd prefer to wait until 1.4.3 or 1.4.4 to update due to our onerous change process, but who knows when they're going to be released.

If you're going to 1.4.3, check with Symantec on this first. Otherwise, if you want to go 1.4.2, make sure you get any other EEBs that go along with it.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup , Vmware and Netapp
As you have suggested Netbackup have a feature for backing up VMDK, But that requires equal amount of space in the datastore. Please correct me if i am wrong. I've been experimenting with this for the last week or so with NetBackup 7.5.0.3, and, no, it does not duplicate the VMDKs on the datastore. It does do a VMware snapshot of the virtual machines being backed up, so you'll need space for those snapshots, with will depend on how much data changing goes on during the backup. For as much data as you're backing up, if you go this route, you may want to consider having a dedicated physical media server with direct SAN access to your datastore LUNs and backup storage (tape?). This will allow NetBackup to do backups with only minimal involvement or load on the VMware hosts.
